    Try this code..

    a!wizardLayout(
  titleBar: a!headerTemplateSimple(
    title: if(
      ri!isUpdate,
      "Update Post Job",
      "Add New Job"
    ),
    secondaryText: if(
      ri!isUpdate,
      "Update details for the post job",
      "Enter details of the job posting"
    ),
    titleColor: "STANDARD",
    stampIcon: ""
  ),

    The error occurs because the variable in value and saveInto is not a List of Text. For a multiple dropdown, ensure the variable is a list and multiple: true is set.

    Hi [mention:e6afcf0941054cb6b3855cfc2340cdab:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,


    Please check any null values are being stored in the saveInto Variable you've configured, handle the null condition.
    One more issue may be like the rule input data type is not an array.

    If both doesn't work, can you please put your code, inorder to address exact issue?

    This was my code for the particular multiple dropdown field i was facing issues.
    Is there anything wrong in the code ?

    You can store multiple text values in a record field either by:
    1. Saving them as a separator string in one text field (quick but not ideal).
    2. Using a one-to-many relationship with a child table (best practice for scalability and querying).

    Try this as for your understanding.
